30. Your Psychotherapist

Of course you want to talk about what's going on in your life, but if that includes weekly visits to therapy to work out your aversion to intimacy or crippling self-hatred, don't detail that part of your weekly routine. Try not to start any sentences with "My therapist says..." or "In therapy last week..." There's no shame in it at all, but show discretion as to when and in whom you confide the particulars of your mental self-care. There's no shame in retaining a little mystery, either.
